  • Staying Above Board Sustainability Policy 2014
    Staying above board Sustainability Policy 2014 Chris Hines MBE Head of Sustainability Nick Hounsfield Co-founder The Wave Sustainability Sustainability is in the DNA of The Wave. The business is based on the ‘triple bottom line’ of sustainability - a concept coined by John Elkington. Sustainability can be measured according to environmental, financial and social factors. The success of a business is normally measured on the financial profit & loss or the ‘bottom line’. The triple bottom line adds social and environmental profit & loss to the mix to assess the overall sustainability of a business. Sustainability requires that the system aims to not make a loss in any of the three elements. In reality this means that the system must aim to make a profit in order that inevitable occasional losses balance out and do not result in the degradation and collapse of the system. The Bruntland definition: “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Social Responsibility (SR) SR makes sure we do things right whilst having a positive effect on everyone and everything around us. The Wave is committed to SR. Everything we do is measured, thought about and adapted if needed. This makes us work better and react to any issues. We are always improving as a company, always looking to help local communities and always caring for the local environment. The Wave Approach Our sustainability policy is both overarching for us as an organisation as well as site specific for the facilities we build.
